🌿 How to Care for Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’

How do I prune Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’?

Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’ should be left through the winter, as the dead wood protects them from frost. They can be pruned in early spring, and more vigorous varieties may be trimmed again around June.

What are the common pests and diseases affecting Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’?

Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’ can be susceptible to aphids, capsid bugs, whitefly, sage leafhoppers, and glasshouse red spider mites. Additionally, fungal issues like grey mould (Botrytis) can develop in cool and damp conditions, especially during overwintering.

How often should I water Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’?

Water Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’ regularly during dry spells, particularly newly planted ones. Established hardy salvias are drought-tolerant but benefit from deep watering during prolonged hot periods. Avoid waterlogging, as it can cause root rot.

Do Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’ need feeding?

Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’ require light feeding in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser or compost. Tender salvias benefit from fertilisation every 2–4 weeks during the growing season using a liquid feed for flowering plants. Over-fertilising should be avoided, as it can encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

Should I deadhead or cut Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’ back?

Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’ should be trimmed around April or May, a technique often called the “Chelsea Chop,” once new shoots start to appear. Cut back to the fresh growth, and continue deadheading throughout the season. Vigorous varieties can be pruned again in July to encourage bushier, greener plants rather than tall, woody stems. Salvias should not be cut back in autumn, as leaving the foliage intact helps protect the plant from frost.

How do I propagate Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’?

Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’ can be propagated from cuttings, seeds, or by division. Softwood cuttings can be taken in summer or semi-ripe cuttings in late summer; remove lower leaves, dip in rooting hormone, and plant in a moist, free-draining medium. Seeds can be sown indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost, germinating at 18–22°C, and seedlings should be transplanted after the last frost. Clump-forming hardy salvias can be divided every 3–4 years in early spring or autumn.

Are Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’ drought-hardy?

Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’ moderately drought-tolerant once established, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun. Tender salvias are less drought-tolerant and require more consistent watering.

Are Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’ good in UK gardens?

Salvia guaranitica ‘Purple and Bloom’ performs well in UK gardens if given full sun and free-draining soil. It’s hardy in most areas, flowers for months in summer and autumn, and suits borders or containers. Avoid winter wet and prune lightly in spring.
